i don't know if they have promethazine in the states but maybe you could ask your doc about it?
Man, I wish promethazine (or codeine, or tramadol) did something in me... I really messed up my receptors... oh yeah, they do have promethazine, and it's less regulated than other things like it, if you couldn't tell by my reply.

I have triazolam because of the kind of sleep you're describing. Nothing can touch me when it comes to sleep. Apparently, I'm supposed to take it daily now... I think if my pdoc knew my drug history he'd take it away... it's not exactly relevant anyway anymore. Ancient history except when it comes to pain relief and cravings, really. Lucky for me, the assume my tolerance to opiates was caused by cancer surgery... even then, I had dilaudid... despite the fact that my daughter was exposed to nothing but a small amount of nicotine and a lot of coffee in the womb, she has a similar tolerance, though. Both of my parents were heroin addicts (mom quit many years before she passed, dad is presumed still alive & definitely still using).

Anyway, I'm derailing your thread. Sorry. Yeah. I have major sleep issues, too. I get that. I don't know wth I'd do without the triazolam. Even seroquel didn't work. Never tried zyprexa. Maybe that would? Idk. I figure it would take a cocktail of art least five to knock me out and I'm better off with one potentially addictive one.

Update: just remembered something... they gave me promethazine during most of my pregnancy to "keep me calm" before I was dx'd. Nice, huh? Probably why only dilaudid works on my kid
